Which target is used for 10-Meter Air Rifle competitions at the range?

• A. A standard 50-meter target
• B. Daisy #5818 or #AR-5/10-10-meter air rifle target
• C. Electronic scoring target
• D. Digital target

Answer: (B)

In 10-meter air rifle competitions, the target used is the official 10-meter air rifle target—the small, circular target designed specifically for that distance. Examples you’ll see on ranges are Daisy target #5818 and the AR-5/10-10-meter air rifle target. This target size and layout match the precision required at 10 meters and provide a clear center for scoring the shots.

The standard 50-meter target isn’t appropriate here because it’s built for a much longer distance and different scoring rings. Electronic or digital targets describe how hits are recorded and displayed, not the actual target the shooter aims at, so they’re about scoring method rather than the target itself.
